My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a fun 5 star read, I was pulled in right from the beginning.

Lark is returning back home for her sister’s wedding in her RV. She is trying to figure out just how to avoid Hunter for a week until the wedding. But fate has other plans and she ends up seeing him sooner rather than later.

Hunter didn’t expect to see Lark as soon as he did, when he saw the RV on the side of the road he had a feeling it was her. He ends up helping Lark and old feelings come rushing back.
When Lark’s sister asks them for a favor they agree to help her. Will these two finally find their way back to each other? Or will secrets keep them apart?

Overall I really enjoyed this second chance romance. I loved her nickname for her RV, what a life to live. All of the characters added a great element to the story, there was one that I didn’t care so much for you you will find out pretty quickly who that is. The author does a great job with her writing and I can’t wait to read more from her and this series. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was fabulous! Revisiting these characters after ten years of their normal lives was inspired. Their relationships are so genuine and it’s clear that each relationship matters to each of them. Hen, on the cusp of adulthood, facing such challenging struggles and still rising to meet them is an inspiration to everyone. Family is so central in this book, and it’s just so gritty but also intimate in a way that captures reality at its most difficult.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed Journeys Through Timespace as much as I enjoyed book 1. This being not my typical genre, I was worried going outside of my comfort zone. I’m still glad I did. I really enjoy the back stories of the characters; it helps you understand and feel like you personally know them. The way the Journeys Through series is written is unique. I don’t think I have read anything quite like this. There are still a lot of characters, but James Talisman makes it easy to keep who is who straight. I love how book 2 advances the story of the characters. I’m excited for the rest of the series to be released.

This was a cute read! I really enjoyed when Jake went to daycare, and this book was just as fun! I tried reading it to my infant daughter but she was more interested in our puppy than she was the fictional one. I thought this book was cute, sweet, engaging and so fun for children. I really love the extra stuff at the end, the activities for parent to do with their children and the guides for fear and worries in children. I think this is a great book for parents to buy for their children of all ages!

I loved reading this! My kids loved it even more. They’ve asked me to read it to them over and over. Jake and the Growling Dog Shares His Trail is a wonderful story of overcoming your fears and how to be kind. I love how it’s educational in a way that kids will understand. Jake and the Growling Dog Shares His Trail allow conversations to begin and questions to be asked by my kids. It also helps me answer some questions and give examples on how to behave, using Jake as an example. What Would Jake Do?

Y’all, I’m SO invested in this story! I’ve never read a story like this before and I’m just as conflicted about who I want Dee to be with as she is! Winston is the sweet safe choice, Johnathan is the intelligent cult leader, and Grayson is the eccentric writer; all great choices in their own way and all totally into Dee. All this relationship drama while solving a murder!

I can’t say more without giving spoilers but this is a must read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jake the Growling Dog Shares His Trail is an adorable children’s tale by Samantha Shannon.

One of the greatest things about the Jake the Growling Dog series, is that it always has some sort of lesson to be learned in the story. This particular tale teaches us that it’s ok for people to be different. When the Jake finds prints that are different than his, he is fearful. When the prints turn out to be another dog with a disability, Jake feels silly.

All of the Jake the Growling Dog books also include questions and activities at the end. This is a great, light hearted read about series issues a kid can face in school, day care, or just in general when out with mom and dad. I think these stories really open up the door for conversations about real life obstacles and feelings.

THIS SERIES! Just when I thought I couldn’t be more enthralled, CR Robertson went and did it again! The love story between Tasha and Levi is incredible and I love every bit of their relationship together. This story adds more insight to what has been happening with the Hellspawn and creates a whole new set of problems that the couple (and the rest of the new clan) will have to figure out and deal with. I thought that I loved the first installment of this series, but this book has quickly claimed that spot. I am on the edge of my seat waiting for more. The whole story is amazing and the ending leaves you wanting so much more! Keep it up, CR! I cannot wait to see what’s next.

This short children’s book was so good, I love the story line of making friends and learning to be friends. How not to be scared. The illustrations in the book were just amazing. I really enjoyed the little activities and information that was in the book about children being scared and what to do, as an early learning childhood educator this really made the book even better. Learning these things with your child is something that can help then with everything in life. An all-around great children’s book.

Her Dark Love by Isra Sravenheart is the newest installment in the Dark Spell Series. I love that this book takes us back to when Isra, a young witch, just starting to study at Wingdom’s Academy of Ancient Magic’s. At seventeen, Isra has always known she was different from her family and is excited to be learning all about witchcraft. As a young woman who believes in the good of the world, we see how things start to change for Isra making her turn towards dark magic. This, the fourth book in the series, is a wonderful addition to this series! So glad to be able to read about young Isra. It really helps to understand Isla and sheds light on the whole story. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series just keeps getting better. Lucy has her father, Jude, wanting to come in and meet her uncles. Marcus, her boyfriend, isn’t happy about that (oh yeah, he and Jude don’t like each other). Dylan, her friend and new demon (thanks to Jude), is suffering from new powers and has to do trainings along with Lucy. Oh yeah,[and nothing is ever as it seems. Marcus’s parents appear on the scene. There are also signs of a love triangle. This action-packed book has thrills, mystery, suspense, and drama for the YA (and even us oldies that love the genre). The characters are funny, full of anfst, charming and a little creepy. The humans have quirks and the paranormal have unique charm. They all mesh together to make a really powerful book that brings out that sometimes you have to compromise. And in the end, keep your enemies closer. Highly Recommend.

Another great book by C.R. Robertson. Another great read of a story of two people that were forbidden to be together and the way that they fight to be together. Will all the twists and turns you never know what the next page will have, it’s a real page turner. It’s a very fast-paced, complex, action packed, paranormal romance, that will have you wanting more. This incredible story with its vampires, Lycans, hell spawn, witches, all in one story is incredible how she weaves it all together for this incredible story. The battle scene and the sizzling encounters are so amazing it kept me wanting more. This Is a must read and can’t wait for the next one.

I loved the premise of Alex and the nightmares. It is written so well that when you read about Alex and her need for a family you feel it to. The way she wants to bond with her grandmother you want it to. I just LOVED this book and I definitely plan on reading the whole series.

Bared was a good 4 star read for me. Athena is such a strong character but sometimes she annoyed me. No matter what happened she kept trying to keep Tru at arms length. No
Matter how hard he tried and he did try hard, she had steel walls guarding her heart. Tru lets her into his personal life in hopes that Athena will open up and really try to give this a shot. Will Athena ever let her walls down and let Tru in ?
I thought this boom was well written and I loved the characters. I just felt like something was missing. I don’t know what but I just feel like I was looking for something else to happen. I’m looking forward to more in this series in the future.

Hanging Softly in The Night: A Detective Nick Larson NovelHanging Softly in The Night: A Detective Nick Larson Novel by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There was a time where I absolutely loved books with crime, detectives and a thrilling plot. I have always been a fan of those movies too but there is something about using your own imagery. Somewhere between work and kids I forgot how much I love those types of storylines. I am really happy I stumbled across Hanging Softly in the Night. This is a novel that has a little bit of everything all wrapped into one. Characters you love, plot twists and even sensitive subjects. I found myself wrapped into the storyline from page one. It’s been a while since I have read a full length novel and I was impressed by how it not only kept my
attention but kept me from wanting to put it down. Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra is a new author to me but left a lasting impression. There are a lot of moving pieces and key characters to this storyline but never once did it feel overdone or too dragged out. I look forward to reading more from this author and highly recommend this 5 star read.

Turning Wheels

Satan’s Devils MC #1

A Blood Brothers Spinoff

AUDIO BOOK

By Manda Mellett

☆☆☆☆☆

This is a full length MC novel. This is Sophie and Wraith’s story. A story of differences vs romance. An MC’S VP taking an old lady. This is a must read. I also suggest you read all of her books in this series.

 

Sophie is recovering from a horrible accident that left her in a wheelchair. She has lost the use of her leg and the other one is no longer there. Between the pain and self loathing she has all but given up. All she had done was help a friend leave an abusive boyfriend. Now her door is smashed open and the threat has started all over again. But Wait…. The door was kicked in by someone sent to help her escape. Strangers who become friends, family and a strong desire to live. MC to the rescue!

 

Manda Mellett has once again taken me by surprise. I love each of her men in the Satan’s Devils. But this one has taken over my heart. I have grown very fond of this MC series. Sophie is so strong and the men of Satan’s Devils are there to support her, back her up and keep her safe. As well as give her what she needs to take back her life. This story will take you on a rollercoaster ride you won’t soon forget. Fast pace and the many emotions will keep you reading. Well Done Manda Mellett! Well Done!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman is the first installment in James’s Journeys Through series.

As a reader who does not often read sci-fi, I, actually, really enjoyed this book. Although there are quite a few characters and different points of view to follow at the beginning and it is a bit confusing, I enjoyed the character building and how it kept my attention and, in the end, all came together.
The story had a very interesting plot and I enjoyed how the author brought all the characters together.

Overall I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it. I cannot wait to read the second installment Journeys Through TimeSpace.

HOLD ME FOREVER (HERON HARBOR Book 3) by LEA NOLAN is just as fantastic as the first two in this series. Having read the previous two installments I had high expectations for this book and Ms. Nolan did not disappoint, I was so enthralled in book three that I quickly devoured it in one sitting without meaning to. This romance has everything that a reader can hope for including a small town, second chances, great main characters, and plenty of romance, drama and more. Personally I’m hoping this isn’t the last we see of Haron Harbor, because this reader for one definitely wants more.

I was very excited to read this book. I enjoyed book 1.

The storyline was good. I feel like there were some things that could’ve been written differently but only to better an already thought out plot. Overall I liked how the different groups didn’t necessarily mix or hate one another like they normally do in paranormal books. I liked that the female lead Delilah was strong and resilient. Christian the male lead’s character had some room for improvement but I still really enjoyed how his personality and attitude played in the story.

The illustrations were amazing and fun to follow along with the story. I was so happy to read this first book from the author, that I did a little research. An interesting fact that I found is that the Jake books are based off a real dog! I would highly recommend this for growing children!

Fist, this is an amazing series of books! I love Jake the Growling Dog!! This one in particular, Jake the Growling Dog Shares His Trail really resonated with me. If I had, had something like this when I was young I would not have felt so alone with all my fears. I love the illustrations, I love that Jake never goes through something alone. I especially loved that this one had visible disability representation as well! Just so many good things, I can’t praise enough. Also that at the end it gives helpful tips on how to work through fears and does not belittle the fact that everyone has them. Loved it, would recommend to anyone! Well done Samantha Shannon with the story and Lei Yang on Illustrations.
